Machete Vision

Apparently this dropped last night on Bandcamp for $6. No word on physical copies yet though. Anyone(Gametheory?) heard this yet?

Im curious about this one my self. No word on physicals at qn5?

Subject: Re: Machete Vision Wed 26 Oct 2011, 10:38 pm

Spun it a couple times since this morning. I gotta say I'm a little disappointed. Kno went in a totally direction from DIS and One, but it's not a necessarily a bad thing, I just prefer the style of DIS and One. MarQ Spekt's flow kinda wears thin after a while. Roadhouse, All Smiles and AquaMarine are my standouts so far.

Oh and the physicals are gonna come sometime later with 2 bonus tracks.

Are you familiar with any of Spekt's other albums? I had a feeling this was going to be on a different vibe... it kind of has to be. That's probably what has me most interested here. Spekt has a style unto his own. I've never hated it, but he's not one of my favorites, either. If Kno crafted the soundscape to tailor to the emcee, rather than just handing over self-expressive tracks i'll most likely be impressed. He doesn't seem to work that way usually.

They are not self expressive tracks. I think Kno definitely tailored the beats for Spekt. This album has a lot more of a boom bap feel. And no I really haven't heard anything from Spekt minus a couple songs here and there.

I'm gonna check this out soon, hopefully over this weekend.

Subject: Re: Machete Vision Sun 30 Oct 2011, 6:42 pm

yo you are disappointed????

this album surprised the hell out of me, great album. Kno's beats go STUPID on this. They are harder than most stuff Kno's done, and perfectly tailored to Spekt. Beats go frim straight grimy, to more mellow with dope dope vocal samples. Some of my favorite Kno beats for sure. Subject matter is straight violent in parts which i love, but he manages it to mix it with some reflection in songs which is a great combo.

I highly recommend this.

This is really a tale of two albums IMO. Kno's beats are flawless IMO. He really can't seem to do no wrong right now(CATM should be epic. can't wait til December). I'd give the production 5 stars. The problem is that I'm not really crazy about Marq Spekt. The guests stand out more than he does. At the end of the day this is really a nice vehicle for Kno to expand his sound and solidify his place among the elite producers IMO.

I think Kno's beats are great on here. There are definitely some bangers. I just prefer the sound of DIS or One more. And like I said, MarQ Spekt kinda wears thin after a while. That's my biggest complaint. Other than that it's a real solid album.

So were you all like "Kno, I like the beats, but overall the album is a little disappointing, so tonight I'll suck your dick, but won't swallow."

That is the only comment you're allowed to make about it on qn5.com.

hahahahahahaha

Subject: Re: Machete Vision Wed 02 Nov 2011, 4:29 pm

If Kno makes a bad beat then I'll admit it...til then I guess I'll just continue to suck his dick.

More than a month later I'm finally listening to this album. And it sounds great, shaping up to be in my top 10 right now, beats are too good.

I've had my copy for a few weeks now.

Subject: Re: Machete Vision Fri 27 Jan 2012, 2:23 pm

Yeah I got mine about 2 weeks ago...

Subject: Re: Machete Vision Fri 27 Jan 2012, 2:40 pm

lol, poor Tran. Aside from them autographing the actual disc it's quite a nice package. The artwork/digipak is dope. The credits are pretty funny as well.

I just ordered the t-shirt package. This album should be a serious contender for AOTY for anyone who's heard.

these fools are giving me the runaround. Emailed them a bunch of times and all they give me is "I'm sorry to hear it hasn't arrive yet, please email me your home address and we will sent you a new one". I get no follow up or anything regard the status of my order for a week, so I emailed them again and they ask for the same damn shit....SMH!!! I want my damn CD.

Gametheory, told Kno to fire his whole damn staff.

How is Kno gonna fire himself?

i don't know, on everyone of the emails i got back it's from "staff"

Go Hawks Posts : 4016 Join date : 2009-09-24

and it seems like at least 2 different staff members wrote back to me.

Go Hawks Posts : 4016 Join date : 2009-09-24

And I should have said Spek and not Kno. It was Spek's staff who emailed me back. My bads.

Great... I should probably get on these fools sooner than later...
